Crowd Control
Ejection
#showtooltip Chains of Ice /cast Chains of Ice /cast Death Grip
Try to press it twice in a row really quickly. It will make the target fly up into the air at a very slow rate (depending on movement speed of the mob), and eventually fall down at a very slow rate. The target can be attacked while in the air, and it serves as a great crowd control, and it only uses one Frost rune. It is more effective the further away you are from your target. Can be used constantly (or near constant) with the 
[Unholy Command] talent. Can be used on most mobs.
- Please note: this only functioned during beta testing, before it was patched out.**
Runner Stopper
#showtooltip Death Grip /cast Death Grip /cast Chains of Ice
Casts Death Grip. If Death Grip is on cooldown, Chains of Ice is cast instead. This allows you to either pull, or stop an enemy from running away with the use of one button.
One of these spells is off the GCD so this macro now pops them both at the same time. I use this instead
/castsequence reset=25 Death Grip, Chains of Ice
It seems to work well.
Stunning the Target
#showtooltip Death Grip /cast Death Grip /cast Gnaw
This may be used if you have specced into 
[Master of Ghouls], allowing for direct control of your ghoul. The target will be pulled to you, then stunned by your ghoul.
Spell Interrupts
All-In-One Spell Interrupt
#showtooltip Strangulate /cast Strangulate /cast Mind Freeze
Casts Strangulate. If Strangulate is on cooldown, Mind Freeze is cast instead. This allows for you to interrupt a spell cast with the use of one button.
#showtooltip Strangulate /cast Strangulate /cast Mind Freeze /cast Arcane Torrent
If you are a Blood Elf Death Knight, you can add 
[Arcane Torrent] to the macro for three interrupts in one button. Remember that Arcane Torrent is an AOE and not a single target. *Arcane torrent has been removed from the GCD so this macro can use two interrupts at once.
Death Coil
Ghoul Death Coil on Alt
#showtooltip Death Coil /cast [nomodifier] Death Coil; [modifier:alt,target=pet] Death Coil
Casts a standard Death Coil with no modifier pressed down. With alt held down, uses Death Coil on your pet rather than your target for healing instead of damage.
Frost Death Knight Death Coil
#showtooltip Death Coil /cast [button:2, target=player] Death Coil; Death Coil
Casts a standard Death Coil on left click. Pop 
[Lichborne] and right click to heal yourself.
Or you can make it one button since I found I often didn't use Death Coil as an offensive spell.
#showtooltip Death Coil /cast Lichborne /target yourname /cast Death Coil
Just replace yourname with your characters name and you get an auto heal every 3 minutes.
Tanking
Frozen Will
#showtooltip Lichborne /cast Lichborne /cast Unbreakable Armor /cast Icebound Fortitude
Specific for Frost tanking. Since none of these abilities are on the global cooldown, binding them on the same key makes for a really effective "oh crap" button. Pressing it with all cooldowns fresh will pop all three abilities (get the Icebound Fortitude and Unbreakable Armor Glyphs for best results) at the same time, granting you with approximately 85% damage reduction.
One Button Taunt
/castsequence reset=35 Death Grip, Dark Command
One button for taunting. Starts with the standard Death Knight pulling ability; 
[Death Grip]. Afterwards, if during the fight, a mob needs taunting, it will cast 
[Dark Command]. For Unholy spec, change the reset time to 25 if 2 points are spent in [Unholy Command].
PvP
OH SHI- button for frost spec
#showtooltip Hungering Cold /cast Lichborne /cast Unbreakable Armor /cast Icebound Fortitude /cast Hungering Cold
[/cast Every Man for Himself] (if you're a human, escape artist works too.)
This is a macro for frost Death Knights who find themselves surrounded by too many enemies. It's mostly for PvP, but it can be used in PvE if you pull too many mobs. Hungering Cold does require some RP before using, but it shouldn't really be a problem.
Ghoul Utility
Ghoul Ranged Stun
#showtooltip Leap /cast Leap /cast Gnaw
This lets you stun a target in range of your ghoul's leap instantly. Useful for interrupting spells when Death Grip and Strangulate are on cooldown.
Healing
Blood Bath
#showtooltip /cast Vampiric Blood /cast Rune Tap
This is for Blood Spec. Death Knights. If you have 2 blood/death runes up, one click will allow a nice little heal. Each spell is on a 1 min cooldown. Takes your normal Rune Tap healing aspect and adds 50% to it. Great with Improved Rune Tap. This macro it mostly an "OH SHI-" button, but good none the less.
